Award Amount: Maximum $1,000,000
Match: 50% non-federal cost share required
Eligible Entities: State, City, Township, County or Tribal Governments, Public and Indian Housing Authorities
Description: This funding opportunity seeks to support state, local, and tribal governments to improve reentry and reduce recidivism by expanding and/or increasing access to housing for people who are currently or formerly involved in the criminal justice system. Prior to release from incarceration, people will be screened, assessed, and identified for program participation. The program will help jurisdictions assess their reentry systems, identify strengths and gaps, and then build capacity for improved housing options for adults released from prison or jail.
